word grade...point is skunk is still the shit! I was a grower about 15 years ago and it's funny...even then skunk was old news. I'm waiting for Northern Lights to pop a new strain..."he found the one, the dankest of the dank in a bag o' NL. we'll call it (big bud,fruitylisious, dankenstien, your choice here)."
Weed inherently has these great genes, the "classic" strains have all the genes of these modern superweeds.
since I started playing with weed again lately, I was lucky enough to find 12 seeds at the stalk (most likley an early male, NOT a hermie) of a 1 once WW main bud and one seed of some extreme sativa (it had dense but thin, 6 to 8inch buds). I live in Texas so there is a strong likley hood it was Mexi (was only $50/oz). The Mexi(?) was dubbed "laffy taffy" by a friend from up north near the great white north.
These are my current genetics and soon I'll have pics. One plant has been going 9 weeks in flower and it was covered with "frost" within 2 weeks of the 12/12. All the bud-letes are starting to look like icy green fingers toward the lights. Still looks like at least 2-3 weeks left. She smells like the widow.
